The Congo has produced some of the most vibrant and joyous music to emerge from Africa. Quartier Latin, from the Democratic Republic of Congo, continues the tradition. Featuring members of Kofi Olomide’s legendary band who played on his most groundbreaking albums, Quartier Latin is a red hot 12-piece group that’s been blowing the roof off concert arenas in Africa, Europe and North America.

Tickets $30 ($25 for students) available at the door; online at June 11 event on Music Africa’s concert page – www.musicafrica.org/events.htm
